Are you letting AI fulfill you? Or are you using it to fulfill yourself? The difference matters more than you think.
This week on our podcast, Lavin Voices, we sat down with Jacob Ward: veteran technology journalist (NBC, WIRED, New York Times) and author of The Loop, in which he predicted the rise of for-profit AI nearly a year before ChatGPT was launched. A clear and prescient voice on AI, business, and society, Jacob argues that AI can play a powerful role in our lives—as long as we don't outsource the most fulfilling parts of being human.
Jacob is the author of The Loop: How A.I. Is Creating a World Without Choices and How to Fight Back. Roger McNamee (Zucked) writes that “if AI is to get back on track, then Ward will be the guide.” An honest, warm, and high-energy keynote speaker, Jacob reveals what we should be outsourcing to AI, and the truly important things that we shouldn't.
